MALPRACTICE OF THE HEART is a 90,000 word medical thriller that transports the reader into the complex world of medical liability and uncovers a grim conspiracy rooted in the past. Mitch Hawkins, investigator for a large medical liability insurance company founded by his father, is faced with the unpleasant job of defending a surgeon who has rendered his patient paraplegic during a botched spinal operation. He has capably handled more sensitive cases in the past, but this time he gets in over his head.
When Mitch’s colleague tries to settle the case behind his back and is found with his throat slashed, the investigator realizes he’s involved in more than everyday malpractice. He digs deeper and uncovers an unholy alliance between the patient, an unscrupulous lawyer, and (most shocking) the surgeon himself. Readers are drawn into the morass of greedy lawyers, medical politics, and one man’s desperate struggle for redemption. Mitch risks not only his own life but that of a woman whose help and friendship come to mean more to him than he’d thought possible—all to discover the truth behind a shameful secret kept for decades by three men.
